Even though it has some objectionable language, I thought this video was funny enough to link to. Evidently, a group of guys had been playing Halo 2 late into the night, when one of them fell asleep while playing.  To make matters worse, he begins snoring loudly into his headset.  So, his character is just standing there snoring.  One guy fires up the VCR and starts recording.  Then they all begin abusing the snoring guy.  Yelling at him to wake him up, pushing him off cliffs, and surrounding him with explosive fusion cores and setting them off which sends him into the stratosphere.  Again, it does has some objectionable language.

Although I haven't experienced this scenario, playing Halo 2 online is very interesting from a social standpoint.  To me, it's been alot more like playing a sport than a video game.  When you're playing online, there are no AI players.  Every character has a real human controlling it.  Being able to communicate with your teammates adds alot as well.  It's alot like playing paintball or lazertag in really elaborate arenas, only tons cheaper.  If you think about it that way, the XBox is very inexpensive compared to what you'd have to pay for that kind of entertainment.  It's a fantastically easy way for me to get together with my friends and do something without having to get them all in one place. (at least my friends who have XBoxes...hint...hint)  And it's also been an excuse to get to know people I wouldn't otherwise have much in common with.
